Camp for R programming

This camp provides statistical methods in the context of disease research. It is for current (2015-16) high school and exceptional 8th grade students (young women and men) who want to learn computer programming in relation to future biomedical applications. This is a non-residential day camp.

This camp provides statistical methods in the context of disease research. It is for current (2015-16) high school and exceptional 8th grade students (young women and men) who want to learn computer programming in relation to future biomedical applications. R is a statistical tool and programming language with excellent graphic options, useful in various application areas such as medicine, public policy, and economics. After R is introduced, the students will assess current biomedical problems and identify useful tools for research. Students will be encouraged to write a program to aid in biological research and to share the program online as authors such as through GitHub.
